niest thing WAS the description of the pre-
sentatiOn of Raw Dog. or some other In
dian with remarkable name, to the queen.
! Victoria stood surrounded by my Iord-Ot
this and Eari-of-that, Princess Beatrice and
the Duchess of Deyonshire. Raw bog ap-
preached, unabashed, and was not at all
blinded by the sun of royalty. He WAS
presented, and after several complimentary
grunts he Is said 10 have remarked Ia Queen
Victoria, the empress of India. that he was
glad to have All opportunity Of seeing 1.-The
big sgnaw, the mother of us all, the great
sauaw that lives in the land of the rising
sun.
This is strictly true, as il came by cable.
Ii is said that Buffalo William has 10
watch these Indians as il they were mere
bears or tigers. One of the employees AT
the fair grounds in this city said the other
day. Those Injuns of Buffalo Bll's are
holy terrorS | remember that when he
showed here a party of them lass0ed

wigwams. Ii was probably intended aS a
Ioke, but the Indians never smiled and tht.
bum got very angry. He commenced Ia
read the riot act 10 the Indian, and beck
on-d Ia several ot his companions 10 stand
by him. The Indian never made any
reply. and quietly rnilrd up his iaSSo
When he got il tightly rolled up, without
the least warning whatever, he hit the iel-
low II terrific crack with the heavy coiled-
up rope and knocked him nat. Seeing the
first man down, all the war-spirit Of the
Indians seemed to lie aroused and they
commenced rushing on the Zoe. Suddenly
Buffalo Bill jumped IN among them and

II hear that you are going to pipe the
natural gas for domestic use from the gas
we'll near your house. MIR. Frey"
Well, have thought of doing So but
have not Yet made the necessary arrange
ulents The fact Is that there is so much
water in the we'll that there Is danger that
ii will ultimately shut of the supply OF gas.
The drillers who have seen the well recently
are OF the opinion that the water reaches
To within 200 feet of the mouth of the well.
II this is 81 it requires remarkably strong
flow Of gas to force itself through this i'm
mense weight of water Ia the surface.
The great mistake in drilling the we'll
was in not stopping when We were 10 feet
into the Trenton rock and shooting the we'll
with torpedoes. Ii We could get a s,as well
10 yield permantly the flow of gas which
came from the Market street well at its
best. the well would be worth 500,
What is the present yield ?''
THE well has been guaged and IL now
producing about !. 900 cubic feet every ~
hours. This supply has value as fuel, and
would no doubt warm and light a resi-
dence.
III is estimated that this well produced
al its best nearly 100, 900 cubic feet of gas
every "A hours. Now when We remember
that some of the FindIay wells yield but
800, 900 cubic feet, it will be seen that the
we'll was pretty good one. | may coli
clude 10 put down another well myself some
OF these days. la that case shall bore
near my residence. ] shall only 20 80 feet
into the Trenton rock, which is strIlck at
about /, 200 feet below the surface. Such
4 well could be bored at an expense of
about Sl,250 and if il yielded flow of gas
comparing iavofably with the quarry we'll,
the enterprise would he a remarkably good
investment Mr.. Bushnell states that lie
will not bore a deep well. He will bore 80
OF 40 feet into the Trenton rock, torpedo
the well, and if no gas is found, the well
will be abandoned.
1t seems pretty certain. however, that
a good low pressure well can he obtained
anywhere In Springfield by boring the well
to a reasonable depth. The question of
boring deep wells has been thoroughly
tested, and in future no more of them will
be bored in this city. They were very
good as an experiment, but it has been
proved that nothing WAS gained by going
below fifty feet in Trenton rock II
could be sure OF getting rs good a well As
the quarry well | should bore again. i'm
mediately."
What about the water in the quarry
weli?"
The water louud is white sulphur
wster-the temperature is about the same
as that of new milk. and ii is highly medi-
cinal In quality. think that il is id-n-
teal with the medicinal or sulphur water
fouRd in the Delaware springs. or with that
al the White Sulphur Springs, in Nir-
gina"
We have no artesian wells in Spring
field. but vast qumber of ordinary water
wells. On the same principle, if We cant
have some big. high pressure gassers, why
not be content with a large number Of low
pressure wells Of moderate capacity? They |
will serve the same purpose.
There seems Ia be some doubt that the |

World balloon. All the Western Union
offices received notice Ia be on the lookout

its passing and other news relating 10 il.
They were also instructed 10 send by wire
